A Unique Chicken Satay Recipe

With Singapore’s 49th National Day just around the corner on 9 August 2014, I decided to catch up with Capella Singapore’s Junior Executive Sous Chef, Aaron Goh, to talk about local food. As proud Singaporeans, we love our food. Visitors to our country often comment that Singaporeans are seen eating all day long – it is true! We have 24-hour coffee shops and hawker stalls such as Old Airport Road Hawker Centre, Newtown Hawker Centre, Chomp Chomp Hawker Centre and more all around the country just to satiate our huge appetites!

Chef Aaron shared, during our conversation that he was working on a very Singaporean-inspired dish Tiger Beer Chicken Satay. Yes, you heard right! Chicken satay marinated in Singapore’s national beer, Tiger Beer.

It sounded too delicious, so I persuaded him to share the recipe with you in celebration of National Day! And if you happen to be in Singapore for the holiday, make plans to join Aaron at the hotel and try it yourself.

This looks fabulous. My two who eat meat would love it. Maybe I could make a tofu version for my daughter who is a vegetarian? This is the kind of recipe that I feel I can only get when in a restaurant but your description makes it sound very do-able!
